Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
replace
reinterpret
abandon
memorize
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The passage describes maintaining original themes while adding contemporary elements. "Reinterpret" means to present in a new way while retaining essence, fitting this modern adaptation approach.
Choice A is incorrect because "replace" suggests eliminating originals. Choice C is incorrect because "abandon" contradicts remaining faithful. Choice D is incorrect because "memorize" doesn't relate to adaptation.
